In a bestselling work of profound and lasting importance, the late Albert Hourani told the definitive history of the Arab peoples from the seventh century, when the new religion of Islam began to spread from the Arabian peninsula westwards, to the present day. It is a masterly distillation of a lifetime of scholarship and a unique insight into a perpetually troubled region. This updated edition by Malise Ruthven adds a substantial new chapter which includes recent events such as 9/11, the US invasion of Iraq and its bloody aftermath, the fall of the Mubarak and Ben Ali regimes in Egypt and Tunisia, and the incipient civil war in Syria, bringing Hourani's magisterial History up to date. Ruthven suggests that while Hourani can hardly have been expected to predict in detail the massive upheavals that have shaken the Arab world recently he would not have been entirely surprised, given the persistence of the kin-patronage networks he describes in his book and the challenges now posed to them by a new media-aware generation of dissatisfied youth. In a new biographical preface, Malise Ruthven shows how Hourani's perspectives on Arab history were shaped by his unique background as an English-born Arab Christian with roots in the Levant.
The increased knowledge of peoples, customs and dialects which was brought
about by this large-scale migration must have deepened the sense of there being
a single Arab world within which Arabs could move with comparative freedom ...

As economic advisor to the Bank of England for many years, C. A. E. Goodhart is uniquely positioned to assess the role of the central bank in the modern financial system. This book brings together twenty-one of his previously published articles dealing with the changing functions of central banks over time, recent efforts to maintain price stability, and debates over specific financial regulation proposals in the UK. Although the current day-to-day operations of central banks are subject to continuous comment and frequent criticism, their structural role within the economic system as a whole has generally been accepted without much question, despite several attempts by economists in recent decades to challenge the value of the institution. C. A. E. Goodhart brings his knowledge of both the theoretical arguments and the actual working of central banks to bear in these essays. Part I looks at the general purposes and functions of central banks within the financial system and their evolution over time. Part II concentrates on the current objectives and operations of central banks, and the maintenance of price stability in particular. Part III analyzes the broader issues of financial regulation.
9.1 EARLY HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT When the first Central Banks were

Sebuah karya sastra merupakan kisahan yang senantiasa bergumul dengan para tokoh fiksional yang diciptakan oleh si pengarang. Agar ceritera lebih menarik, si pengarang kerap kali menampilkan perilaku para tokoh dengan kepribadian yang tidak lazim, aneh, atau abnormal, sehingga menimbulkan berbagai perasaan bagi para pembaca. Tidak jarang para pembaca bertanya-tanya, mengapa si tokoh berperilaku demikian, apa yang terjadi pada dirinya, apa penyebabnya, dan apa pula akibat dari semua ini. Bahwasanya masalah perilaku mungkin saja terkait dengan masalah kejiwaan, maka kisahan semacam ini dapat merupakan masalah psikologis. Oleh karena itu, dalam buku yang merupakan hasil penelitian tentang karya-karya sastra Inggris dan Amerika yang bermutu ini, penulis menampilkan beberapa kasus para tokoh fiksional yang mencerminkan konsep-konsep yang terdapat dalam Psikologi Sastra. Para tokoh dimaksud terdapat dalam karya-karya sastra Inggris dan Amerika ciptaan Nathaniel Hawthorne, Eugene O'Neil, Theodore Dreiser, dan D.H. Lawrence. dalam buku ini dibahas pula para tokoh yang mencerminkan beberapa konsep yang terdapat dalam Psikologi Sastra, misalnya konsep-konsep: Oedipus Complex, Electra Complex, Naluri Kematian, rasa Bersalah, Agresivitas, Halusinasi, Konflik Batin, rasa Malu, dan sebagainya. Selain itu, dibahas pula pencerminan Teori Kebutuhan Bertingkat dari Abraham Maslow yang mencakup kebutuhan fisiologis, rasa aman, rasa memiliki dan dicintai, rasa harga diri, dan aktualisasi diri. Selama ini telaah karya sastra melalui pendekatan Psikologi Sastra sering diperdebatkan karena kerap kali hakikat sastra menjadi hilang, telaah sastra seakan-akan menjadi telaah Psikologi. Oleh karena itu, agar telaah sastra psikologis tidak meninggalkan hakikat analisis suatu karya sastra, maka pencerminan berbagai konsep psikologi di atas perlu disampaikan melalui metode perwatakan yang biasa digunakan dalam telaah sastra. Metode-metode tersebut misalnya, telling (langsung), showing(tidak langsung), gaya bahasa bahasa (figurative language): simile, matafor, personifikasi, , dan sudut pandang (point of view). Pembahasan dalam buku ini dapat dijadikan bahan acuan bagi para peneliti, karena paparannya cukup jelas dan terperinci, sehingga buku ini akan bermanfaat bagi para peneliti yang berminat menganalisis suatu karya sastra dalam bahasa apapun.
